Beautiful space and views - No A/C
We loved this property. Everything was very up to date and clean, very spacious, and incredible views. However, please be aware that the unit does not have air conditioning. Maybe with the elevation, it isn't usually needed. We stayed in July/80-90 degree weather and the room got up to 76 degrees, but cooled down pretty well in the evenings. The bedroom ceiling fans were wired so that the lights had to be on if the fan was running, so we couldn't use those at night. These were only minor inconveniences and we would stay again, but they should be noted for future renters on the listing.

MIsleading/ lack opf info on which side condo is on It's on ski slope side
The unit itseldf was great but:
Per the information on VBRO it appears that the unit would be on the Grandfather mountain side. It seems that all the information is making a point of not letting the renter know it is actually on the ski slope side. The 3 images of the outside 2 show the front of the property facing Grandfather mountain, the last image shows Grandfather Mountain as if it were taken from the unit balcony.
There are no other images of the balcony or even a window indicating that the condo is on the ski slope side. looks like this was purposely constructed to leave out that information.
We called Vacasa 106 Sugar Mountain Dr, Sugar Mountain, NC 28604 to see if you could check to see if there was another Grandfather side condo we could change to. It didn't matter to us, we just wanted that side if possible. The answer we got from Vacasa was that the local rep looked at it and said that the information was not misleading and that no they would not look to check to see about moving us.
